I know I can't believe itwe are so excited
this will be our first family trip to anywhere not counting Grandma's house.
Your other 2 kids wishes sound pretty neat. i'd love to hear the police officer one!!
You will be surprised what all you will glean even with just 3 weeks to go. I was absorbing and changing plans up to the night we left!!! And then I LEFT my plan. Yep i Left that hard worked thing at home!!
Hi Bill!We were one of those families!!!
) Our WISH kids exchanged pins. It was really sweet.
We also got to meet the other WISH family that Bill and his family met at GKTW with a major spoiler for my TR that I have never finished I'll tell you we got to share a Dream we won for a meet and greet with Cinderella!! The other Wish childs wish was to see Cinderella which could not be granted due to it was part of the Dreams come True promo. Anyway I had exchanged cell #s and we were going to meet later that day. When we won the meet and greet I asked if the other family could have our wish as that was their WISh kids dream. The CM promptly said I'll do better than that they can share it with you. I called the other family up and said Meet me at such and such time. It was so neat. Their little girl was even wearing her Cinderella dress!!! The Dream CMs offered to let us have our own time or to share it. We wanted to share and they let us stay for a very long time. We have some very neat pics of all our kids. My boys had been crowned Prince of the Day earlier by another Dream CM and then with both of the girls in the other family wearing their Princess dresses The CMs were having fits!! Cinderella really made a big todo over them and it was just really special!!!
I'm so glad we were able to meet with these two very special families. It made the memories that much more special.
I would greatly suggest meeting up with other WIsh families if just for a few minutes to say Hi! Nobody understands like another WISH family even if the illnesses are totally different!!
i hope to follow along with this TR if my family could just stay out of the Hospital for a little while!!!
Hopefully you are getting all of the sickness out of the way!!! 
I am feeling much better today. I am going to try and post my other two wish kids stories soon. If you would like to read more about them and what we have been through from birth till now you can go to our website Whaley's Angels I am working on trying to update that as well. I will try to get some done tonight. While we were there, we meet Lt. Mason after the game he told us to go and get lots of sleep because they had a big day planed for us the next day. That day we had to raise early cause Curtis was to report for duty at 9:00 am. We arrived at the Kent Co. police station and were greeted with a Welcoming committee. We had a wonderful day. We got to tour the whole police department, they took Curtis for a ride in a police cruiser, they showed us how they train there dogs, let Curtis shoot a gun, and showed him the teaser gun and pepper spray plus lodes more. At the end of our day we were ushered into there staff room and was meet with at lest 30 police officers they took Curtis up to the front of the room and gave him the Oath Of Honesty and then officially presented him with the American flag. It was a wonderful day but unbeknownst to us there was more to come that evening. We were invited to the MAW Grand Rapids Gala they told us they had something special planed for Curtis that night. We arrived at the Gala not knowing what to expect the ballroom was wonderfully decorated to look like a castle with a mote around it. We had a vary tasty meal and listened to the MAW people do there speeches. Then they called for Curtis to come up to the front of the room. He was vary nervous and somewhat hesitated at first so his dad went up with him. They asked him what he did that day and he told them (with help from dad) everything that he saw and got to do. So then, they told him they had something special to give him. They called for Lt. Mason (who had been hiding out in the back of the room so we would not see him) to come up. He made his way to the front and stood next to Curtis he talked briefly with him about what he did that day then told Curtis that a few of his friends would like to meet him and give him something special. He then called out an order for them to come forward and from the back of the room came so many officers that I lost count after 50
. They all lined up in front of Curtis and you should have seen the smile on his face. They presented him with a police uniform with a badge, a hat, a scanner and swore him in as the first honorary Grand Rapids police officer. After the swearing in ceremony was done all the officers gave him a salute before leaving the room. It was awesome I must say. However, that is not the end
LOL!!! The next day two officers in and armored swat vehicle picked us up. That was really cool. We went and toured the Grand Rapids police department and then went and toured the jail. That part was a little weird because they took us to the part were the inmates were kept we got to see them in there cells. When we went through the booking and releasing rooms Curtis was noticed by some of the inmates there. They were like Hay arent you that kid from the TV news. (Oh yeah I forgot the tell you that we were on two or three different news channels) We took pics of almost everything I will try to get them uploaded onto here for you all to see. IT WAS AN AWESOME TRIP!!! I am glad I got to share it with you all. Next up Brandons wish
. 
ONE DAY LEFT!!

Thanks so much..
We have all caught the flu or some sort of cold. I will try to post something soon. I hope we get over this before DD's trip
